Chapter 447 - Dealing With the Apostles

When the six Elf Kings saw Vincent’s confident expression when he talked about fighting against the demons, they could not help but nod in admiration.

If they had half of Vincent’s confidence back then, they would not have been prisoners for thousands of years!

The Fire Elf King looked at Vincent and said, “There are still seven days left before we run out of fuel. In seven days, we will naturally tell you the method to defeat the demons and also the method to help the elves inherit the divine spark. At the same time, we hope that you can use these seven days to prove your ability to us!”

Vincent asked with a blank look, “Prove what ability?”

The Fire Elf King narrowed his eyes, and his tone suddenly became very serious. He said in deep voice, “Of course, it is to prove that you have the ability to kill the demons! I hope that you can kill a demon in the Imperial City within these seven days. No matter what method you use, as long as you can do it, we will give you some rewards that you deserve!”

Vincent scratched his head speechlessly and sighed helplessly, “You have been prisoners for thousands of years, what rewards can you give?”

The six Elf Kings could not help but lower their heads in shame.

However, Vincent continued, “But my purpose of coming to Imperial City is to kill the demons here, so I agree to your request. I only hope that you really have a way to protect the elf’s divine spark. This is also the greatest contribution that you have made to the Elf Race!”

The Fire Elf King quickly replied, “Don’t worry about the divine spark. Do what you have to do!”

Vincent looked at the Elf Kings in front of him with some confusion. He did not know what they were planning, but since he had already promised them, he would not go back on his word.

“Take care, everyone! I will definitely bring the heads of the demons in seven days!”

After promising the six Elf Kings, Vincent turned around and opened the space tunnel. He left the bottom of the Well of Filth.

After returning to his room, Vincent returned to his bed quietly and changed his quilt back to its original state. He pretended to stretch and sat on his bed, looking as if he had just woken up. However, in reality, he was busy thinking.

There were not many soldiers in Imperial City. It could be said that the city was not as well-protected as Devil Flame City. However, all the Dark Elves in Imperial City had become the puppets of the demons, acting as their eyes and ears. Therefore, it could be said that Imperial City was still very secure.

If he could not avoid the sight of all the Dark Elves, then everything Vincent did in the Imperial City would not be a secret!

After thinking about it, Vincent realized that the only thing worth using was the laziness of the demons. In order to enjoy life in Imperial City, they had arranged for Vincent to handle tasks on their behalf. Therefore, Vincent could make use of this relationship and the demons’ control over Imperial City!

Vincent stood up, pushed open the door, and walked out of the room. He began to wander aimlessly in Imperial City.

He needed to find an excuse, an excuse to start giving orders. However, such an excuse was extremely difficult to find in Imperial City!

Every Dark Elf who lived there was under the control of the demons. Nothing would happen unless something abnormal occurs outside of the Imperial City. Only then would Vincent be able to find the opportunity that he was waiting for.

At that moment, a dull-witted soldier came from the other side of the street and stopped in front of Vincent.

The soldier said to Vincent with a serious expression, “Jacob, the oracles order you to receive the apostles at the city gate immediately!”

Vincent frowned slightly. He knew that the Dark Elves in front of him were merely relaying their request for the demons. The demons who were hiding behind the scenes would definitely be able to hear their conversation.

It was not a good thing for the apostles to visit Imperial City in person because this meant that the demons might be preparing to gather the remaining apostles to launch an attack on Serene Spring City and Devil Flame City.

Before everything was ready, Devil Flame City and Serene Spring City were definitely not prepared for battle.

Vincent pretended to think seriously for a moment before asking the soldier in front of him, “Did the oracle tell you what these apostles are here for? And how should I deal with their requests?”

The soldier was silent for a moment before he replied, “The oracles’ request is very simple. These apostles should do what they should do. Before they complete the Great Master Gajero’s mission, they are not worthy of entering Imperial City!”

Vincent could not help but feel relieved after hearing this. It seemed that the attitude of the demons toward the apostles was the same as the attitude toward the other Dark Elves. They really treated them equally!

Vincent nodded and said to the soldiers in front of him, “Alright, I understand. Please rest assured!”

He then turned around and walked toward the city gates.

The Imperial City is the most advanced city of the Elf Race. It was also the place where all the apostles of the Elf Race come to pay their respects. Hence, only one side of the gate was built in a grand and spacious manner. The other three city gates appeared to be very dispensable.

Therefore, under normal circumstances, the other three small gates remained closed all year round. The only way in and out of Imperial City was through the one gate. Therefore, Vincent did not need to ask which direction the apostles were gathered.

When Vincent walked out of the half-opened city gate. He saw that there was already an endless army gathered at the foot of the city. There were seven Dark Elves of different heights and sizes. Some were short, fat, and thin. However, the seven Dark Elves were all-powerful experts with the strength of a level 45 creature!

Vincent’s gaze swept past the seven Dark Elves one by one. At the same time, he nodded lightly because he knew that they were the only remaining seven apostles!

The other apostles who acted as lackeys of the Demon Race were all killed by Vincent. The remaining seven apostles who had never met Vincent before were currently standing in front of him. Vincent naturally had to remember the appearance of those Dark Elves so that he would not miss the opportunity to kill them in the future!

When the seven apostles saw Vincent walking out of the city gate, they could not help but urge him, “I asked you to go in and report to the oracle. Did you bring back any news?”

Vincent was slightly stunned. He then realized that the apostles had treated him as a soldier guarding the city gate. He shook his head and said, “My lords have misunderstood. I have been appointed by the oracles and am now in charge of all matters within the Imperial City. Why did you come here? If you have any requests, just tell me!”

When the seven apostles heard this, they could not help but look at each other. They became angry.

They were willing to be lackeys for so many years. They had even helped the demons to collect Origin Divine Earth in order to enter Imperial City one day. However, they did not expect that someone would beat them to it!

Furthermore, they did not know the Jacob that Vincent had transformed into. They were certain that this Dark Elf had never collected the Origin Divine Earth for the demons. How could such a Dark Elf enter the Imperial City earlier than the mighty apostles like them? Plus, he even obtained such a noble official position.

A fat apostle stood out and pointed at Vincent with a face full of disdain, “Who are you? Do you think you are qualified to handle our matters? Quickly go in and inform the oracle. We want to meet him in person!”

Vincent did not get angry. Instead, he smiled and said, “Everything I say is to convey the intention of the oracle. If you dare to disobey the demons, you can enter the Imperial City by yourself. I will not stop you, but you have to take responsibility for the consequences!”

With that, Vincent turned to the side and left the half-opened city gate behind him.

The seven apostles were at a loss for words, but none of them dared to take a step forward because what Vincent said was what they were most afraid of!

As the Origin Divine Earth in their jurisdiction was about to be completely sucked dry, they were only one step away from completing the mission assigned by Lord Gajero. Therefore, they did not dare to anger the demons at this time. Otherwise, they would let all the credit that they had accumulated over the years go down the drain.

Vincent looked at the apostles who were timid and could not help but sneer in his heart. However, on the surface, he was still very calm as he said, “All of you are outstanding members of the Elf Race. You are also the most loyal followers of the demons. If you have anything to say, just say it here. You have to believe that the oracles in the Imperial City will definitely handle it properly!”

The seven apostles could not help but nod helplessly when they heard that. Since they had already said so much, they could only choose to compromise.

An apostle took the initiative to step forward and tell Vincent their experiences.

“We have all received orders from the Great God Gajero to go to Serene Spring City to ambush that crazy foreign race. But before we arrived, we no longer heard any news from Titan and the others. It seems that they are already doomed! So far, five apostles have already died at the hands of that foreign race. It can be seen how terrifying that alien’s strength is. Even if the seven of us join forces, we might not be his match. Therefore, we can only gather together temporarily and ask the oracle to tell us what to do next.”

After hearing this, Vincent could not help but be secretly shocked. He did not expect that the plan to attack Serene Spring City actually comprised of ten apostles. It was just that Titan and the others got greedy and rushed forward. They did not wait for the others to arrive and took action ahead of time.

If ten level 45 creatures had attacked together, Vincent would have probably died under Serene Spring City!

Fortunately, Vincent had already used his strength to kill the three apostles and had indirectly intimidated the remaining seven apostles. They did not dare to attack Serene Spring City directly. Instead, they came to Imperial City to seek help from the oracles. Their goal was to get an order for them to withdraw their troops.

Vincent suddenly thought of a good idea. He said, “I know that all of you are actually bent on working for the demons, but you are also worried that blindly attacking will cause unnecessary casualties. I agree with your cautiousness, but we must also stay on guard against that outsider. His goal will be the Imperial City sooner or later. So, I hope that all of you will stay around the Imperial City and not go anywhere. Protect the safety of the Imperial City!”
